Daredevil Inventor Upgrades an Electric Mobility Scooter to Accelerate Like a Tesla

One of the many benefits of battery-powered cars is the incredible torque and acceleration an electric motor can generate. It’s not just a feature exclusive to Teslas; you can actually upgrade almost any electric vehicle with equally ridiculous acceleration—even a mobility scooter.

There’s not a lot of details about how this upgrade was performed, but you can assume that, in addition to a bigger battery and beefier motor, the scooter’s structural integrity was (hopefully) strengthened so that it doesn’t just disintegrate at its new top speed of around 62 MPH.
